Yes, but some people have different opinions on this. I don't know why he wants this, I guess because mailman also does it, or supports it when configured accordingly. > Also, wouldn't configuring the end user's MDA to deliver ML mails > originating from oneself to "/dev/null" be a sane workaround? I usually append them to /dev/null in the Fcc-hook and keep only the copy received from the MLM. A workaround is still a workaround. Rather than setting this in 100 subscriber-MDAs, it might be easier to have support for this in the MLM. Well, anyway, thank you. You have some valid points there :) Best regards, Moritz
